The link will take you to a complete unit history during their time in Vietnam.  A great read and interesting history.  The website is on life support as no one paid to retain the site.  Take a look before it is gone.

RB-57D video

This is one aircraft I'm going to build.  I have the Mach RB-57 kit.  I hear it is a bear to build.

War Eagle 1/48 B-57 decals.

Most of Ron's decal had been made by scale master.  At that time in the modeling industry was one of the best decal company's.    War Eagle decals have stood the test of time.

Excellent model Boyd.


Here is what Boyd Waether said today.



Although I used Lone Star Models 1/48th scale RB-57A resin conversion kit (combined with the Airfix B-57B Canberra), I did use Ron's decals on the model. Nearly 30 years old, the decals went on fine.  I did have to use quite a bit of Solvaset to get them to snuggle down into the panel lines.

War Eagle 1/48 B-57

Another kit that Ron made for the modelers.  It seemed that everyone wanted a B-57 in 1.48 scale.  Well Ron made it happen, that what was interesting about Ron.  If he thought people wanted the kit he would push to get one out.   What amazed Ron had a full time job as a plastic injection mold maker.  It was at that time a highly skill machinist trade.  Working long hours at his regular job he pushed himself to make War Eagle a first class company.  I'm looking for any completed picture of the model to post here.
